Bishop in Alien 3 - Human or Android?

but we can assume for now that this new-found technology led to the space travel that we first saw in ALIEN.

We learnt FTL travel, hypersleep and artificial gravity from a gun?

And then go back to using bullets?

So you're saying there were two Charles Bishop Weylands? I don't think so. And I agree AVP is not cannon with the original Alien timeline, and in Alien 3 Bishop II is human.

So you're saying that you don't know the meaning of the word "different", as in, "Two different guys living in two different times"? Since that was what I had said, and unless your (apparent) definition of "different" varies from mine, I had meant that Charles Bishop Weyland from AVP was a different guy than Bishop's designer in Alien³. How you managed to think I said they were one and the same, I'll never know.

So, one more time, I said that they were two different guys living in two different times. Where do you get that I said that they were both Chuck Weyland?

Since we learned time travel from a Predator gun.

Oh, of course!

Yes, apparently you don't know how reverse engineering works. Putz.

[SM]

Apparently not.  I lose. 

[Eidotemit]

Yes, you do. Now think about what you've done and wallow in your shame.

Yes yes, but can we at least assume that the blaster was the basis for the technology that we see in the Alien films. Just small technological realisations here and there.

Of course some things are beyond puny human scientist minds (plasma casting?), so bullets would still be the norm when it comes to weapons.

For them to be able to reverse engineer it would require that they learned how it worked. If they can go and create rocket engines with it, they can create "plasma-casters".

[maledoro]

I'll have to remember not to leave my grill outside; someone might probe its inner secrets and create god-knows-what.

It is possible though, that there is no material on Earth that can hold 'plasma', let alone cast it. Like the only way they could possibly get it to work would be to replicate the material that makes up the Predator caster.

Why are we even discussing this? The AvP universe is in no way related to or a part of the Alien universe, since there have been no hints or nods to Predator or AvP in any of the Alien movies this far. The only way for AvP to be a part of the Alien universe is if the Scott brothers all of a sudden drop dead and the genius Strausse bros are called in to make the Alien Prequel instead, i.e. the Alien Prequel has to "invite" Predator and AvP into the Alien universe by planting hints/nods/easter eggs telling us that all the franchises are a part of the same universe and timeline.

So, if some character in the prequel hints that he/she has heard rumors about that human FTL technology is in fact based on alien technology retrieved in the aftermath of some red-tape incident on Earth in the early 21st century, then we can start discussing this.






















PS. The Alien 3 Bishop was the real deal!

I think it was more childish mocking than discussing.  At least for my part.
